Hmm not a fan. Was lookin at the ringbrothers pins unsure though
I used Aerocatches on my Firebird.....I like them, nothing to catch on anything, positive lock and key lockable (optional). I also like that they're very much like a cowl lock on an aircraft.

I just actually installed these yesterday. Real easy to install, more of a traditional look, Hotchkiss 1760.

Those look great, did they come with the lanyards because yours look different than what Hotchkis has on their site. I was looking at Ring Brothers too, but they don't respond to emails for some reason?Quote:

Sweet, I dig it.
Lutzy's look nice for an updated classic look. I plan to go with an aerocatch style.

I like the aerocatch style but not the plastic,was lucky and found these aluminum ones.
Where did you find the aluminum ones from?
Got them online from bings.ca he was really good and quick to deal with.
Hidden pins on my 67 impala
I can't seem to find the site where you got the aluminum hood pins. Would you happen to have a link or have a contact for the person that made them.
I like the idea of hidden pins. Has anyone else done this? How do you latch them?
Maybe you can fab your own ? Since "G" bodies do have an inside hood release .You might use that as starting point .And maybe the aviation. or race cars as well.
